    Yeah should be announced around 2pm-ish

    Can we preempt the announcement by getting the following inevitable points out of the way;

    1. No, the games are not as good as they used to be.
    2. The PS+ value is still ridiculous so quit your whining.
    3. No, AAA titles will not be released on PS+ for the PS4 yet.

    Anything I've missed?

    I bought that game a few weeks ago - I want a refund?

    "Is that Vita game cross buy?"
    "The games aren't updated yet!"
    "I'm fed up of Lego games"

    I have a strange feeling that Knack or Injustice will be on PS+ Free games list very very soon. Maybe they will hold off until the 1st anniversary to give us good games but so far im happy with what they have given me :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    As am I. Bottom line is, i've got to experience some fantastic games, that I never normally would have gone near, such as Fez, Guacamelee, Mercenary Kings, Pixeljunk Shooter and many others.

    Plus, for those still interested, the PS3 games that are released are usually top titles. Far Cry 3. Crysis 3. Many other top titles - for €60 quid a year??? Don't see how anyone can complain

    That rules out Knack then.

    Doubt it. Knack is below the 70 metacritic mark. http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/knack


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,161 ✭✭✭tok9


    Where is this rule regarding metacritic mentioned?

    Games like Contrast were released for free with PS+ before they were reviewed and have a lower score than 70 on metacritic. I'm sure there must be others.

    I hope you just got mixed up and haven't been paying €60 since it's only €50 for the year, unless you get a deal. Or €54.99 if buying from Xtravision

    When the IGC first began, the 70+ Metacritic rating was used. A quick Google tells me Sony have removed it from their PS+ site.

    I guess we might actually see Knack...

    :(

    Oh, i was mixed up surely! Even better value - €50 sponds is nothing for all those games over a 12 month stretch.

    I actually wouldn't say no to Knack as I've no intention of ever buying it but I'd definitely play it.

    Played more of Strider last night. It's a load of fun. I reckon I've about 1-2 hours to go in it.

    Kind of regret not picking Hard but I do love just slicing through the enemies.

    I have sank a good few hours into it so far and I think I have a few more to go but I might just be at the end because the bosses are a nightmare at the moment.

    I haven't had any real issue with any of the fights so far to be honest.

    It says I've played for 3 hours 40 mins and completed 50% of the game which includes all the bonuses etc throughout.

    The dragon was one of the bosses I beat last night.

    I beat him by moving from one platform to the other (as in middle to bottom) when he fires. Once he get's ready to bite you use the quick move (R1) to quickly get away and attack.

    Once that's all complete he shoots ice which you can break to get back health and he comes in from the top left and right. Once he does that, just go under it and keep bashing away.

    Actually i reckon one of the free games next month will be Dont Starve + Reign of Giants expansion on the Vita as its been released next wednesday and is a Cross Buy item in anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,161 ✭✭✭tok9


    I'm not sure they'd giveaway the game for free on release again.

    Still Hhoping for Splinter Cell :p

    Well cross buy means it free for anyone that had it, the expansion is probably the only part that will be free :P

    Yeah, I cant wait to have it on the Vita, numerous hours will be sank into it. I heard that there is no cross save on it at the moment tho so I will have to start fresh again.

    I gave up way to much of my life to that game, building camp and farming supplies.
    Thankfully managed to break the habit. Clean now with 100 days. If that's released, could be in for a relapse!!!
